The rapper, who recently returned to social media, was seen in a video vibing to Burna Boy’s song Ye and fans could not help but point out the irony of it all, as the 41-year-old announced last month that he has changed his name to Ye.

In another post, also filmed by vocalist Bankuli in an outdoor studio, Kim Kardashian’s husband busted some moves to Immediately, Wizkid’s latest release with Mystro.

The Gold Digger artist, who is in the East African country with Kim, daughter North and Big Sean, has now returned to Twitter after he failed to release his highly-anticipated ninth studio album when he said he would.

Kim confirmed that the album has in fact been pushed back by a whole two months, to November 23, but it is ‘worth the wait,’ she said in a tweet.

The Grammy-winner hit back at social media over people ‘telling him what to do’, urging people to un-programme their minds. ‘I just wanna talk about mind control. You know when people try to influence you through social media and try to tell you what to do,’ he began.

‘Or if you post something positive on Instagram and it gets taken down. If it’s not part of a bigger agenda.

‘I just got back my IQ scores and they were MENSA level, you know, 133, 98 percentile. Straight up Sigmund Freud, Tesla vibes,’ the dad-of-three continued. ‘When someone tries to tell me what to do, I feel like they’re touching my brain.’

Elsewhere in the clip, which has been viewed more than 600,000 times, Yeezy branded social media a lie – using Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign as an example of why.

‘I’m not worried about any type of blog or social media. Y’all already saw it was a lie. Social media told you Hillary was gonna win, and she didn’t win,’ he said. ‘Social media told you that people didn’t like me, but everybody loves me. Everybody loves Ye. But if you read social media, it makes you think something different.

Speaking about travelling to Uganda to record his new album, he said: ‘I’m in Africa recording, you see we just took them to the future with the dome. The music is the best on the planet.

‘I am the best living recording artist. We, rather, because the spirits flow through me. The spirit of Fela [Kuti] The spirit of [Bob] Marley, the spirit of Pac [Tupac Shakur] flows through me. We know.’

‘I am not crazy, I can ramp up if I suffer from sleep deprivation, I’m about to get some sleep,’ he added. ‘A lot of people were trying to get me to get off social media, to get off Instagram, to not express myself.’

While Kanye shared his nine-minute rant with his 12.3million followers, one person who might not be too happy is wife Kim.

And the whole thing reportedly left the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star ‘upset’.

‘Kim is very uncomfortable and unhappy with the whole situation. She finds Kanye brilliant, so it makes her upset when he goes on these public rants and come across as someone who isn’t well,’ an insider told People.

‘It’s stressful for her. She knows he isn’t healthy right now, but it’s impossible to get across to him.

‘All she can do is hope that he calms down mentally soon.’
